Project Manager

Mindgard is a London-based startup specializing in AI security. Our mission is to secure the future of AI Applications against cyber attacks. We've spun out from a leading UK university after a decade of R&D and are among the first few companies globally to offer solutions to this rapidly growing problem.

Mindgard's automated AI red teaming product helps security testers test for, identify, and remediate vulnerabilities in AI applications.

Mindgard probes AI applications and uses a set of techniques, including Predictive AI, LLMs, and other algorithms to identify security-relevant attributes within application responses.

We're seeking an experienced AI Red Teamer who will be responsible for uncovering security vulnerabilities within AI. You will identify vulnerabilities that our customers care about, demonstrate successful cyber attacks, and report your findings to internal and external stakeholders.

Roles & Responsibilities

In this role you will:

  1. Red team and penetration test AI models, systems, and applications.
  2. Work with customers, AI providers, and the open-source community to disclose new security issues and help secure their AI solutions.
  3. Collaborate with engineering and research to design, implement, and report attacks against AI models and applications.
  4. Generate company awareness via regular engagement with the security community through publishing articles, releasing publicly available tools, and presentations.
  5. Stay up to date on the latest AI security research, trends, and attack techniques.
  6. Contribute to the development of internal tools, our AI red teaming product, and open-source projects.


Skills & Experience

We are looking for:

  1. Strong experience in red teaming and penetration testing.
  2. Hands-on experience and understanding of attack techniques specific to AI applications (prompt injection, jailbreaking, model extraction, etc.).
  3. Familiarity with AI red teaming tools and LLM vulnerability scanners (PyRit, Garak, etc.), as well as established pentesting tools (Burp Suite, Nessus, etc.).
  4. Able to communicate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  5. Excellent problem-solving skills and creativity to find and anticipate potential attack vectors against AI applications.


Before you go, we want you to know!

Studies have shown that some groups of people are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you don't meet all of the above criteria, but you think you'd be a great addition to Mindgard, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire. Our people are our strongest asset and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected attribute. Our commitment is to provide equal opportunities, an inclusive work environment, and fairness for everyone.#J-18808-Ljbffr

Why Cyber Security Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Cyber security used to be viewed primarily as a technical discipline: firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, penetration testing. In the UK today, it’s far broader. Organisations now face complex legal frameworks, ethical dilemmas, human-behaviour risks, communication challenges & usability hurdles. This shift means cyber security careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. From protecting NHS patient records to defending financial services, securing supply chains & safeguarding national infrastructure, cyber security now touches every sector. Employers increasingly want professionals who understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design alongside traditional technical skills. In this article, we’ll explore why UK cyber security careers are expanding in this way, how these five disciplines shape the profession, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this new landscape.
